Sukhbinder Yip, BACP

Sukhbinder Yip understands how difficult it can be to ask for support, and she recognises that taking the first step toward help is a significant achievement. She provides a non-judgmental counselling and supervision service where clients are invited to be themselves and to explore the concerns that matter to them. She listens to whatever feels troublesome and works collaboratively to find practical, meaningful ways forward.

Sukhbinder is an accredited registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She holds a specialist diploma in clinical counselling supervision and a diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). She has undertaken extensive training and many years of professional practice in the field of domestic and sexual violence, and has over 16 years of experience working with children, young people and adults. She has also completed safeguarding training with the NSPCC.

Her core approach is person-centred, enabling strong rapport and empathetic engagement through a compassionate, nurturing style. She draws on CBT and other evidence-informed methods where appropriate, and she works proactively with each person to select counselling strategies that fit their needs. Sukhbinder encourages clients to recognise and build on their strengths so they can make choices that lead to positive change and renewed confidence.
